BOOK CLUB – APRIL
The
Girl with No Past by Kathryn Croft Tuesday, April 19
Leah Mills
lives a life of a fugitive – kept on the run by one terrible day from her past.
It is a lonely life, without a social life or friends until – longing for a
connection – she meets Julian. For the first time she dares to believe she can
live a normal life. Then, on the
fourteenth anniversary of that day, she receives a card. Someone knows the truth about what happened.
Someone who won’t stop until they’ve destroyed the life Leah has created. But is Leah all she seems? Or does she
deserve everything she gets? Everyone has secrets. But some are deadly.

Experience
America
Experience America started five
years ago with the goal of creating summer programs for high school students
which we hope they will love. A core focus of our programs is to give our
students a candid look into these industries before they take the next steps in
their education. We developed our
programs with the University of Washington in Seattle, as well as The Fashion
Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles.
·
Entrepreneurship (UW): Helping students learn how to
start a successful business with University of Washington’s Foster School of
Business and visit with local startups.
·
Game Experience (UW): Introduces students to game
development, teaching them elements of design, animation, and manage their own
game companies.
·
Fashion at FiDM: This program is for students who
want to dive into LA's fashion and design industry and learn how to take
designs from concept to consumer.
·
Experience Japan (Nagoya & Tokyo): This immersion trip is for students who
have a passion for Japanese language and culture. It gives students the
opportunity to explore Japan as a tourist, student, and professional.
SPI Study Aboard (New Listing)
“Study abroad in
Spain, France, Italy, Costa Rica, or China during the summer. With SPI
programs, traditional classrooms take a back seat to exciting activities around
the city, conversations with locals, and journeys where history, art, and
culture come to life! College Credit possible. For more information, please
